More quotes by Madonna Ciccone
I was working with Toby Gad, who spent a lot of time in India. There's a sitar [in Body Shop] and the song has a very Indian flavor to it. I liked the idea of the body of a car as a kind of sexual metaphor - What you do to a car, what you do in a car - drive. So, lots of innuendos, and lots of fun.
Madonna Ciccone
I'm very grateful that I had work to do. I may have thrown myself off a building.
Madonna Ciccone
The media is something that affects a lot of people, so you're constantly trying to strike a balance between respecting something and not caring about it.
Madonna Ciccone
People hear the soul, black influence in my voice. I grew up listening to CKLW and all the black stations like WLBS.
Madonna Ciccone
I don't care if you hate me or love me, as long as I make you think.
Madonna Ciccone
I came to the realization that a strong female is frightening to everybody, because all societies are male-dominated, black societies, poor people, rich people, any racial group, they're all dominated by men. A strong female is going to threaten everybody across the board...
Madonna Ciccone
Before doing any interviews I like to know who I'm meeting with and get a bit of an idea of their sensibilities.
Madonna Ciccone
I like to be provocative. I like to make people think. I like to touch people's hearts. And if I can do all three of those things in one fell swoop, then I feel like I've really accomplished something.
Madonna Ciccone
I do some of my best stand-up comedy during sound checks.
Madonna Ciccone
I might be responsible for as many gay marriages as I am for heterosexual divorces.
Madonna Ciccone
I'm not a reluctant pop star. I'm very grateful and happy for everything that I have and for things when they go well. On the other hand, I've had enough of the other side to know that if it doesn't, I will survive that and life goes on.
Madonna Ciccone
I have to get way more vocal and become a little bit less mysterious.
Madonna Ciccone
I didn't set out to write certain kinds of songs - I just set out to write good songs.
Madonna Ciccone
When I think about popular culture, I can't help but think that we're living in the age of loneliness. There's this illusion that we all have instant access to each other, but we actually have no real connection.
Madonna Ciccone
Truth is never far behind.
Madonna Ciccone
I'd love to be a memorable figure in the history of entertainment in some sexual, comic, tragic way. I'd like to leave the impression that Marilyn Monroe did, to be able to arouse so many different feelings in people.
Madonna Ciccone
Say hello to your life.
Madonna Ciccone
I don't believe there's a certain age where you can't say and feel and be who you want to be.
Madonna Ciccone
I feel like everybody needs to take a sabbatical and go to Russia and Africa and work in orphanages and really witness true suffering. And then you'll just feel ridiculous for ever complaining about anything. Everybody needs that kind of reality check.
Madonna Ciccone
It's not my nature to just kick back.
